D. $ 12,000

Step-1:Calculation of book value at the end of year 2

Cost		$ 60,000
Accumulated depreciation		$ 12,000

Book Value		$ 48,000

Working:

Straight Line depreciation	=	(Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life
	=	(60000-12000)/8
	=	$ 6,000

Accumulated depreciation for 2 years	=	$ 6,000	*	2
	=	$ 12,000

Step-2:Calculation of depreciation for year 3

Depreciation for year 3	=	(Book value at the end of year 2-Salvage Value)/revised remaining life
	=	(48000-12000)/3
	=	$ 12,000
